How do you find the words to describe this kind of talent and workmanship? You tell me! Last night I picked up my “Friends of Baltimore” from Ruth at Stitching Impressions. As I mentioned in my last post, I decided to take out all my hand-quilting stitches and have Ruth machine quilt it. This could very well be one of the best decision I have ever made! Take a look at what Ruth did. I am only going to show you a few blocks at a time, just so you do not get overwhelmed. Ruth wrote a blog post describing her different techniques and terminology. You can check it out here.
If you are thinking about making this quilt I recommend you jump in with both feet. Have fun and enjoy the journey. I did! The pattern is available on my website Simple Bird Studio.
Til next time….

Ruth did a fantastic job quilting. You can spend time just looking at each block. Thank you for sharing photos.
Nobody can beat this kind of machine quilting! I am completely lost for words!
I now have nearly two borders and 9 blocks and I love making this quilt!
I normally prefer hand quilting but this is awesome!
Wow! This is simply stunning! Both your wonderful applique and Ruth’s amazing quilting. A true work of art! xx
OMG! I clicked over to Ruth’s blog…so much detail in this quilt. You two make a great quilting duo!
Hi Kerry,

MASTERPIECE! I see a Blue Ribbon, Best of Show, and any other ribbons out there for this one. Congratulations on the difficult work and so glad you had it professionally done. I also prefer hand quilting, but sometimes to be competitive we have to have it professionally quilted.
This is, by far, the most exquisite quilt I have EVER seen. The applique is beyong measure and the quilting is absolutely breath taking. Amazing word Kerry and Ruth.
Wow! It was beautiful before it was quilted but the quilting has made it stunning.
Truly magnificent! Can’t stop looking at your pictures, you have both done an amazing job!
